Abstract

The students will understand the basic theory of unitary representations as well as the classification of a few unitary duals.

Objective

This unit will cover the basic theory of unitary representations, building on a solid foundation of functional analysis. After this particular cases of concrete groups will be studied: abelian groups, semi-direct products, and SL(2,R). The latter has many connections to other areas of mathematics, which will be highlighted along the way. The goal is to understand this initial part of the theory.
